I'm not sure Wannashag. It's a fairly dodgy situation which is really highlighted by how quickly Capello decided to strip him of his captaincy.

yeah very hasty, i think he should reconsider (obviously he wont with today's media pressure)
i think not being the leader will take a big part of terry's game away from him.
he now becomes just another centre back, he isn't the world class player that ferdinand is, his job was the leader.

Capello never listens to the media though. He's his own man totally.

... and replaced him with someone caught up in a sex tape scandal with other players and skips drugs tests

It was a daft replacement

Yep, probably was but still doesn't change the fact that Terry took a shi% on his own doorstep.

Oh I know that, but if they were getting rid of Terry as captain because he no longer has a squeaky clean image, then don't replace him with someone who is just as bad! Its self defeating

But again, the Terry situation differs from the others because he decided to mix his personal and professional life, you know? It's a different scenario.
